Marko 10
1 Yesu aliondoka eneo hilo na akaenda katika mkoa wa Uyahudi na eneo la mbele ya Mto Yorodani, na makutano walimfuata tena. Aliwafundisha tena, kama ilivyokuwa kawaida yake kufanya.
And having risen from there, he comes into the borders of Judea through the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes come together to him again, and, as he has practiced, he taught them again.
2 Na Mafarisayo walikuja kumjaribu na wakamuuliza, “Ni halali kwa mwanamume kuachana na mke wake?”
And the Pharisees having approached, they demanded of him if it is permitted for a man to divorce a wife, testing him.
3 Yesu akawajibu, “Musa aliwaamuru nini?”
And having answered, he said to them, What did Moses command you?
4 Wakasema, “Musa aliruhusu kuandika cheti cha kuachana na kisha kumfukuza mwanamke.”
And they said, Moses permitted to write a document of divorce, and to divorce her.
5 “Ni kwa sababu ya mioyo yenu migumu ndiyo maana aliwaandikia sheria hii,” Yesu aliwaambia.
But having answered, Jesus said to them, For your hard heart he wrote for you this commandment.
6 “Lakini kutoka mwanzo wa uumbaji, 'Mungu aliwaumba mwanamume na mwanamke.'
But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.
7 Kwa sababu hii mwanamume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake na ataungana na mke wake,
Because of this a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife,
8 na hao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja; Kwa kuwa si wawili tena, bali mwili mmoja.
and the two will be in one flesh. So then they are no more two, but one flesh.
9 Kwa hiyo alichokiunganisha Mungu, mwanadamu asikitenganishe.”
What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate.
10 Walipokuwa ndani ya nyumba, wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza tena kuhusu hili.
And in the house the disciples questioned him again about the same thing.
11 Akawaambia, “Yeyote amwachaye mke wake na kumwoa mwanamke mwingine, anafanya uzinzi dhidi yake.
And he says to them, Whoever may divorce his wife, and will marry another, commits adultery against her.
12 Mwanamke naye akimwacha mme wake na kuolewa na mwanamme mwingine, anafanya uzinzi.”
And if a woman should divorce her husband, and will be married to another, she commits adultery.
13 Nao walimletea watoto wao wadogo ili awaguse, lakini wanafunzi wakawakemea.
And they brought children to him, so that he would touch them. And the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
14 Lakini Yesu alipotambua hilo, hakufurahishwa nalo kabisa akawaambia, “Waruhusuni watoto wadogo waje kwangu, na msiwazuie, kwa sababu walio kama hawa ufalme wa Mungu ni wao.
But when Jesus saw it, he was displeased, and said to them, Allow the children to come to me. Forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Ukweli nawaambia, yeyote asiyeupokea ufalme wa Mungu kama mtoto mdogo hakika hawezi kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu.
Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, he will, no, not enter it.
16 Kisha akawachukua watoto mikononi mwake na akawabariki akiwawekea mikono yake juu yao.
And having embraced them, while laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
17 Na alipoanza safari yake mtu mmoja alimkimbilia na akapiga magoti mbele yake, akamwuliza, “Mwalimu Mwema, nifanye nini ili niweze kurithi uzima ya milele?” (aiōnios g166)
And as he was going forth on the way, one man having ran to him, and having knelt to him, questioned him, Good teacher, what should I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 Na Yesu akasema, “Kwa nini unaniita mwema? Hakuna aliye mwema, isipokuwa Mungu peke yake.
And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God.
19 Unazijua amri: 'Usiue, usizini, usiibe, usishuhudie uongo, usidanganye, mheshimu baba na mama yako'.”
Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not testify falsely. Thou shall not defraud. Thou shall honor thy father and mother.
20 Mtu yule akasema, “Mwalimu, haya yote nimeyatii tangu nikiwa kijana.”
And having answered, he said to him, Teacher, all these things I have observed from my youth.
21 Yesu alimwangalia na kumpenda. Akawambia, “Unapungukiwa kitu kimoja. Unapaswa kuuza vyote ulivyo navyo na uwape masikini, na utakuwa na hazina mbinguni. Ndipo uje unifuate.”
And having looked at him, Jesus loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lack. Go thou, sell as many things as thou have, and give to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And after taking up the cross, come, follow me.
22 Lakini alikata tamaa kwa sababu ya maelezo haya; aliondoka akiwa mwenye huzuni, kwa kuwa alikuwa na mali nyingi.
But having become somber at the saying, he went away sorrowing, for he was a man who has many possessions.
23 Yesu akatazama pande zote na kuwaambia wanafunzi wake, “Ni jinsi gani ilivyo vigumu kwa tajiri kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu!
And Jesus having looked around, he says to his disciples, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God.
24 Wanafunzi walishangazwa kwa maneno haya. Lakini Yesu akawaambia tena, “Watoto, ni jinsi gani ilivyo vigumu kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu!
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But again having answered, Jesus says to them, Children, how difficult it is for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Ni rahisi kwa ngamia kupita kwenye tundu la sindano, kuliko mtu tajiri kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu.”
It is easier for a camel to go through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Walishangazwa sana na wakasemezana, “Hivyo nani ataokoka”
And they were exceedingly astonished, saying among themselves, Then who can be saved?
27 Yesu akawaangalia na kusema, “Kwa binadamu haiwezekani, lakini sio kwa Mungu. Kwa kuwa katika Mungu yote yanawezekana.”
And having looked at them, Jesus says, With men, impossible, but not with God. For with God all things are possible.
28 “Petro akaanza kuzungumza naye, “Angalia tumeacha vyote na tumekufuata.”
Peter began to say to him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
29 Yesu akasema, “Ukweli nawaambia ninyi, hakuna aliyeacha nyumba, au kaka, au dada, au mama, au baba, au watoto, au ardhi, kwa ajili yangu, na kwa ajili ya Injili,
And having answered, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, there is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, because of me, and because of the good news,
31 Lakini wengi walio wa kwanza watakuwa wa mwisho na walio wa mwisho watakuwa wa kwanza.”
But many first will be last, and the last first.
32 Walipokuwa njiani, kwenda Yerusalemu, Yesu alikuwa amewatangulia mbele yao. Wanafunzi walishangaa, na wale waliokuwa wanafuata nyuma waliogopa. Ndipo Yesu akawatoa pembeni tena wale kumi na wawili na akaanza kuwaambia ambacho kitamtokea hivi karibuni:
And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And again having summoned the twelve, he began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.
33 “Tazama, tunakwenda mpaka Yerusalemu, na Mwana wa Adamu atafikishwa kwa makuhani wakuu na waandishi. Watamhukumu afe na watamtoa kwa watu wa Mataifa.
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scholars. And they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.
34 Watamdhihaki, watamtemea mate, watampiga fimbo, na watamwua. Lakini baada ya siku tatu atafufuka.”
And they will mock him, and will scourge, and will spit upon him, and will kill him. And the third day he will rise.
35 Yakobo na Yohana, wana wa Zebedayo, walikuja kwake na kusema, “Mwalimu, tunakuhitaji utufanyie chochote tukuombacho.”
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying, Teacher, we wish that thou would do for us whatever we ask.
36 Aliwaambia, “Mnataka niwatendee nini?”
And he said to them, What do ye want me to do for you?
37 Wakasema, “Turuhusu tukae nawe katika utukufu wako, mmoja katika mkono wako wa kuume na mwingine mkono wako wa kushoto.”
And they said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one at thy right hand, and one at thy left hand, in thy glory.
38 Lakini Yesu aliwajibu, “Hamjui mnachoomba. Mnaweza kukinywea kikombe ambacho nitakiywea au kustahimili ubatizo ambao nitabatizwa?”
But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye are asking. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? And to be immersed the immersion that I am immersed?
39 Wakamwambia, “Tunaweza” Yesu akawaambia, “Kikombe nitakachokinywea, mtakinywea. Na ubatizo ambao kwao nimebatizwa, mtaustahimili.
And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, Ye will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and the immersion that I am immersed ye will be immersed.
40 Lakini atakayekaa mkono wangu wa kuume au mkono wangu wa kushoto sio mimi wa kutoa, lakini ni kwa wale ambao kwao imekwisha andaliwa.”
But to sit at my right hand or at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.
41 Wale wanafunzi wengine kumi waliposikia haya, wakaanza kuwakasirikia Yakobo na Yohana.
And when the ten heard it they began to indignant about James and John.
42 Yesu akawaita kwake na kusema, “Mnajua kuwa wale wanaodhaniwa kuwa watawala wa watu wa Mataifa huwatawala, na watu wao mashuhuri huwaonyesha mamlaka juu yao.”
And having summoned them, Jesus says to them, Ye know that those who presume to rule over the Gentiles, lord over them, and their great men have power over them.
43 Lakini haipaswi kuwa hivi kati yenu. Yeyote atakaye kuwa mkubwa kati yenu lazima awatumikie,
But it is not so among you. Instead, whoever may want to become great among you, will be your helper,
44 na yeyote atakaye kuwa wa kwanza kati yenu ni lazima awe mtumwa wa wote.
and whoever of you may want to become first, will be a bondman of all.
45 Kwa kuwa Mwana wa Adamu hakuja kutumikiwa bali kutumika, na kuyatoa maisha yake kuwa fidia kwa wengi.”
For the Son of man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46 Wakaja Yeriko. Alipokuwa akiondoka Yeriko na wanafunzi wake na kundi kubwa, mwana wa Timayo, Batimayo, kipofu mwombaji, alikaa kando ya barabara.
And they come to Jericho. And as he went out from Jericho, and his disciples and a considerable crowd, Bartimaeus, the blind son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road begging.
47 Aliposikia kuwa ni Yesu Mnazareti, alianza kupiga kelele na kusema, “Yesu, Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, Jesus, thou son of David, be merciful to me.
48 Wengi walimkemea yule kipofu, wakimwambia anyamaze. Lakini alilia kwa sauti zaidi, “Mwana wa Daudi, nihurumie!”
And many rebuked him, that he would be quiet, but he cried out much more, Thou son of David, be merciful to me.
49 Yesu alisimama na kuamuru aitwe. Walimwita yule kipofu, wakisema, “Kuwa shujaa! Inuka! Yesu anakuita.”
And having stood still, Jesus said for him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Cheer up. Arise, he calls thee.
50 Akalitupa pembeni koti lake, akakimbia zaidi, na kuja kwa Yesu.
And he, having thrown off his garment, having risen, came to Jesus.
51 Yesu akamjibu na kusema, “Unataka nikufanyie nini?” Yule mwanaume kipofu akamjibu, “Mwalimu, ninataka kuona.”
And having answered, Jesus says to him, What do thou want I would do to thee? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.
52 Yesu akamwambia, “Nenda. Imani yako imekuponya.” Hapo hapo macho yake yakaona; na akamfuata Yesu barabarani.
And Jesus said to him, Go thou, thy faith has healed thee. And straightaway he received his sight, and followed him on the way.
